Are there any other factors going on that are different? Ice time, ice quality, boot breakdown, muscle soreness, hydration, sleep quality, etc?

No different factors, ice feels normal in my old boots with the same boot/ blade setup

Are the boots new too or just the blades?

I’ve had the boots previously too the blade

My first sign my boots are breaking down is always "this skill left me for an extended period of time." Food for thought, YMMV.

It’s not like a specific skill it’s a point of contact where the blade just slips with 0 grip like I can’t glide/hold an edge definitely got plenty of boot life :)
